When the custom adapters for federated repositories are
part of the default realm, the users and groups can be managed using
wsadmin commands or the administrative console.
About this task
If custom adapters for federated repositories are part of
the default realm, you use the administrative console to manage the
users and groups in the realm.
Note: The default parent for PersonAccount
and Group entities needs to be the same as the base entry of the custom
adapter.
To view this administrative console page, complete
the following steps:
- In the administrative console, click Security > Global security.
- Under User account repository, select Federated repositories from
the Available realm definitions field and click Configure.
To configure for a specific domain in a multiple security domain environment,
click Security domains > domain_name. Under Security
Attributes, expand User Realm, and click Customize for this
domain. Select the Realm type as Federated repositories and
then click Configure.
- Under Additional properties, click Supported entity types.
You must configure the supported entity types before you
can manage this account with Users and Groups in the administrative
console. The Base entry for the default parent determines the repository
location where entities of the specified type are placed on write
operations by user and group management.
Procedure
- In the administrative console, click Users
and Groups to access users and groups panel. To manage users and
groups for a specific domain in a multiple security domain environment,
click Security > Global security > Security Domains > domain_name.
Under Security Attributes, expand User Realm, and click Customize
for this domain. Select the Realm type as Federated repositories.
Click Apply and Save to the master configuration. On
Security domains panel that appears, click the domain_name again
to go to the domain configuration panel. The links to manage users
and groups for a specific domain are displayed only after you save
the federated repositories configuration for the domain.
- Click Manage Groups to test the basic functions
of the custom adapter with respect to custom adapters for federated
repositories.
- Click Manage Users to test the basic functions of
the custom adapter with respect to custom adapters for federated repositories.
Note: You must restart the server or dmgr
if the federated repository has changed before using the Manage Users
option. Otherwise, user or group changes made to the repository could
be lost after restart.
Results
After completing these steps, you will have ensured that the
custom adapter is being used properly.
